Popular songs workshop

by Adeline

For pleasure and for sound, giving ourselves permission to sing through a popular repertoire, tasting the flavours of popular songs that give rhythm to life, expressing dreams, pain, anger and convictions.

Led by Adeline de Lépinay, a « passeuse de chant ».
It means being able to pass on folk songs from the oral tradition (i.e. without using sheet music and including people who don’t consider themselves singers) and to support people in their singing (singing without hurting yourself, hearing the sound and vibration, enjoying doing it and doing it together).

No prerequisites other than a desire to sing collectively.
